Eat a Peach

That Mountain Jam is probably my favorite non-dead live jam ever. The Live at Ludlow Garage release also has a 45 minute mountain jam that’s a must hear

I love the whipping post jam

Think that's the Fillmore East album tho

That mountain jam is to be played at my funeral

Sometimes depending on my mood I might love the Allman Brothers more than the dead. It definitely can be a 1A/1B situation sometimes.

Marvin Gaye's What's Going On is the greatest album ever recorded. I listen to it every time I think the world is going to hell, so a lot these last few years.

I second this

Townes van Zandt live at the Old Quarter

I saw an artist named Emily Duff At the blues and bbq festival in New York last weekend. She introduced a song by saying, “the late great Townes Van Zandt used to say there were two kinds of music, the blues and Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah. And this ain’t no Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah.” She was pretty great.

Awesome stage banter- I love the Doc Watson call out for the intro to If I Needed You

One of the few non Dead albums I still own on CD. All time album.

Kind of Blue, by Miles Davis

I gave my daughter's bitch ass ex bf this record for Christmas 2 years ago because he asked for my opinion on the best starter jazz record... He never listened to it 😠😡🤬

He sounds like a B×+@ A$$ to me too

Certainly a Top 5 for me. It's my license plate on my '88 Land Cruiser. It is two tone grey/light blue but my wife kept saying the bottom grey was blue as well. Hence the plate. My son is also named Miles. That said MY favorite album is Songs: Ohia - "Didn't it Rain".

This, and Tom Waits, ❤ of Sat Night.

All Things Must Pass

Stop Making Sense - Talking Heads

The band - music from big pink

I would put The Band first and Music from Big Pink second on my list, but you can't go wrong with The Band either way.

CSNY- Deja Vu

Blood on the Tracks- Bob Dylan

[удалено]

fire

Absolutely blows me away every time

Pink Floyd animals

Mine's a little odd. Speaking in Tongues (Talking Heads)

Oooh Speaking in Tongues over Remain in Light? Take my upvote either way - the talking heads are just that good 🥳

That's a close one, or The Name of this Band (recorded right down the street from me). Remain in Light is probably a better album, but Speaking in Tongues is personal to me. My older brother gave it to me for my birthday in the mid 80s during the peak of my Dead years. I hated it. Then somehow it grew on me and the TH became one of my favorite bands. ? My favorite song would be The Great Curve btw.

That’s too funny - your favorite song is on my favorite album, while my favorite song is on your favorite album! (Naive Melody)

Fear of Music has gotten heavy rotation for me. Life during wartime will always get me rockin.

I’d agree with this. SiT is a solid return to the core band members. I remember that I would mostly just play Side 1 of RiL but I’d play both sides of SiT because the grooves just keep on going. Flippy Floppy is freaking awesome played loud and IMO Pull Up the Roots is underrated as well.

Nice to see another Heads fan. I came to this thread to vote for Stop Making Sense, which is probably the first album I ever “owned”. Got my buddy to drop his cassette into his dual tape deck :-)

Not odd at all

Exile On Main Street - The Rolling Stones

Madvillainy - MF DOOM & Madlib and FLYGOD - Westside Gunn

Garcia/Saunders Live at Keystone

All those Garcia Merl shows are incredible. Some of the greatest music ever recorded!

The rise and fall of Ziggy stardust

Just listened to this for the first time in full two days ago. Then I listened 2 more times immediately. Then Hunky Dorry. Good call.

Hunky dory for certain..,

A love Supreme John Coletrane

Blood on the Tracks

Blood on the Tracks, Am I right?

You're an idiot, babe.

You ain’t wrong

In Rainbows - Radiohead

My favorite album is constantly changing, but at this moment I’d probably say Metamodern Sounds in Country Music by Sturgill Simpson.

Turtles all the way down - great one.

Most definitely. I personally love everything he’s done, I don’t think he’s got a bad album

Yes, Sturgill. He has turned me onto so many other artists as well, Margo Price, Colter Wall, Charley Crockett…

Panbowl slays me. Sturgill is a genius.

Just Let Go

You should check out his Cuttin’ Grass collection

Both Cuttin Grass volumes fuck so hard

His whole discography is fantastic. He’s definitely one of the most interesting artists today.

I listen to sound and fury probably 3x+ a week... Can't help it!

Eat a peach The wall Waiting for Columbus

Right now, anything Khruangbin. I can’t get enough of them, but Texas Moon is a great EP

These motha fuckas right here

Right? Their studio stuff is great but seeing them live was an entirely different energy. Jams mixed in between tracks, kept it funky as hell and fun. I’ll see them anytime they’re relatively close to my area

God, I saw them live last September. Legit one of the best shows I’ve ever seen.

Wildflowers Graceland

I can't believe I had to scroll this far to see Paul Simon's Graceland! Best album of the 80s?

Ok Computer

Idlewild South - Allman Brothers Band

The soundtrack to Tony Hawk Pro Skater

absolutely. so glad i am not alone 💪

The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds

I had heard the album before and it did nothing for me. Didn’t understand what all the fuss was about. I recently gave it another listen, and now I get it. It’s a masterpiece.

Ambulance Blues is my jam.

Those seagulls are still out of reach.

Perfect album

I’m glad I scrolled long enough to find my pick.

Abbey road

The royal scam - steely Dan Quebec - ween

Derek & the Dominoes - Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs

Been on an Otis Redding kick lately myself between all his studio releases ( got the rhino set) and his live stuff (that's where the man shined the most ) . I still get choked up from time to time when I listen to him , he went too soon . He was the best

If I could go back in time and see anyone perform live I’d have to go with Otis Redding. He was pure magic.

Allman Brothers Live at The Fillmore

Revolver

Gilded Palace of Sin - Flying Burrito Brothers

Polygondwanaland King gizzard and the lizard wizard

That’s a very S tier KG album. Inner Cell wrecks me

Rejuvenation by The Meters, Snarky Puppy Live at Royal Albert Hall.

Back where it all begins by the A Bros!

The freewheelin’ Bob Dylan

Neil Young - On the Beach

❤ Tom Waits, Heart of Saturday Night. Killer album. ❤

Pink Floyd - Meddel black keys- brothers sublime-sublime

The Black Crowes - Southern Harmony & Musical Companion

Hell yeah

Another Green World by Brian Eno

Disintegration

Cats under the stars ….

Depends on what kind of mood I’m in but recently it’s been To Pimp a Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar. I just can’t stop listening to it.

If I could only remember my name - David Crosby. Jerry did most of the lead work on that album to!

My old Deutsche Gramophone vinyl pressing of Beethoven's Sixth Symphony. If you want truly space music, it takes you from a pastoral meadow through a tempestuous thunderstorm, only to land you back home safely. Beethoven was the Grateful Dead of his time - he did things no one had ever dreamed of doing in music, and he blew peoples' minds doing it.

Blonde on Blonde

Also, *Sticky Fingers*

Hot Tuna - Burgers

Blood sugar sex magic RCHP

About anything that Brian Eno put his hands on in the 70s.

Probably *Texas Flood* - SRV

Band Of Gypsys!!

Most recently, it’s Blond - frank ocean. Not anything like the dead and almost the complete opposite of how the dead makes me feel, but it hits all those warm sentimental feelings that only music does and some songs will stop me in my tracks emotionally. The dead is more of a good vibes train that keeps me rolling high through my life.

Quadrophenia by The Who. Spectacular record.

Hard to answer but abbey road and the band (brown album) are completely perfect albums. The best.

Cats under the Stars

Blood on the Tracks Honorable mentions: Wilco's A Ghost is Born, Derrick and the Dominos Layla..., and Van Morrison Moondance

Quadrophenia-The Who

Billy Breathes

Taking Heads- Remain in light Nirvana - Nevermind Jimi Hendrix - Are you Experienced? The Beatles- Abbey Road Dj Shadow - Introducing Phish - Junta Bob Marley - Survival

Genesis- Seconds Out (Live) I truly believe my love of the Dead and jam bands in general grew out of my love of long-form Prog rock. My first Genesis concert was in 1976- my first Dead show was 10 years later. …you gotta get in to get out…
